    The A5 or rifle like action system offers many positive attributes to function in basically all carbine action systems, there are a few exceptions, but the 5.56 KAC rifles are no exceptions, no matter the barrel length in SR15/SR16 systems. The A5 or rifle like action system still needs to have the correct balance between spring and mass, but there are no net negatives in function when properly balanced.

    I don't think anyone meant it was worse with the A5, but in my experience with my Mod 1 LPR, 16", and SBR uppers, I noticed no appreciable difference in any of the available A5 buffer weights to justify the expense of the A5 on those guns.

    A more thorough explanation while breaking down points comparing the types of action systems into how they operate and what the results are is a side track to this thread. If interested, start a new thread instead of a tangent to this thread.
    It would be difficult in most cases for a carbine action to work as well as the A5/rifle like action overall.

    Difficult, or impossible.

    As OP I'm also interested in seeing a separate thread on the A5 in relation to the SR15 and other brands. I happen to run the A5 in standard form on a 5.56 and a 6.8 carbine actions . Although felt recoil is subjective I bought several based on data regarding slowing down carrier speed. If memory serves me correct there was a measurable difference between standard issue and the A5.

    Thanks for the replies fellas.

    The A5 system can offer benefits to SR15s and others that use the conventional carbine type action systems. A properly balanced carbine action system is not on the the same level of function that the A5 action system is capable of. The increase in time for the events that occur work much better with more time from the A5 than from what is in the realm of capability in the carbine like action system.

    The A5 offers much more advantage to systems that are not designed as a whole.

    I bought a Mod 2 in January, from Ayan at Boltcarrier.com. I can't recommend the rifle or Ayan enough. I feed it whatever I happen to have, usually bulk (read: cheap) .223 or whatever my buddies have if I run out. I've owned a Sabre Defense (stolen), a Colt 6920, still have a Noveske Light Recce and a BCM LW Middie (factory upper/factory lower). The SR15 is everything I wanted it to be, and more. I live in Central FL, so KAC stuff is popular for being local, and I've never met anyone that's regretted owning one of their rifles. The biggest problem with KAC is the fact that you just want to keep buying more.

    One thing to remember about the proprietary parts, is they're proprietary because they're all things that Knights has made drastic improvements to. IMO, the SR15 Mod 2 is the pinnacle of what's currently being done with the AR platform.

    Also, John and the boys at Ballistic Radio seemed to enjoy theirs as well... http://ballisticradio.com/endurance-...c-sr-15-mod-2/

    For the most part, I agree with F2S, but advantages are still there when a properly weighted and sprung A5 type of action system is used for that system.
